Who are we?
We are a team of Professors from Mechanical Engineering Department of IIT Kanpur, working primarily in 'Solid Mechanics'. Our research covers aspects of dynamics and vibration, nonlinear dynamics, rotor dynamics, continuum and granular mechanics, plastic instability, robotics, intelligent control systems, microsensors and actuators, CAD, machine dynamics, smart structures, active and passive vibration control, composite materials, non-destructive testing, finite element method, multiscale modelling of solids, acoustics and noise control, mechanics of fracture, functionally graded composites, mechanics of biological membranes, mechanics of nanomaterials, mechanical behaviour of polymers.
